Gnome unstable repository

GNOME 2.27.91 packages have been uploaded to the Archlinux FTP. To use this repository, you should add this as top repository to pacman.conf:
[gnome-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
The packages in the repository have been built in a chroot with testing enabled. Dependencies are mostly versioned.
Note that packaging GNOME 2.27.x isn't completely done yet. Some things:
- gmime has been updated to 2.4, which is incompatible to 2.2. Expect some existing packages to break
- gdm, gnome-games, gnome-user-share, gnome-user-docs are not updated yet. These will follow shortly
- gnome-bluetooth should be packaged to replace bluez-gnome
- update most packages to 2.27.92
- maybe fiddle around with pulseaudio
- x86_64 packages
Have fun testing these packages. So far they've been working fine on my i686 laptop, so there shouldn't be much problems using these packages.

I got these errors during installation. I thought I'd post them here and come back to them after I restart Gnome.

Once I started up Gnome 2.27, I found the following:
File Management from the System > Preferences menu crashed (Nautilus), and was reported by Bug Buddy. Nautilus started from the Places menu works fine. EDIT: it's actually nautilus-file-management-properties that's crashing.
The Battery icon in the notification area is blank, but the tooltip is working. I have the preferences set to always display an icon.
The system beep is silent. The beep program still produces sound, however.
When I start Tomboy Notes, the icon in the notification area is the Firestarter icon. When i quit Tomboy, the extra Firestarter icon moves over to the empty space where the Battery icon should be. Any program I start that puts an icon in the notification area uses a Firestarter icon.
Inkscape needs to be recompiled due to the libpoppler upgrade. Bug report to follow (if I remember).

GNOME 3.2 beta2 available in gnome-unstable

As promised multiple times on forums, GNOME 3.2 beta2 was just released and guess what? We got it! Shinier and full of new features, noticeable are gdm’s brand new look, gnome-online-accounts, gnome-contacts, gnome-documents, epiphany web application support, new user menu and better chat integration. Along with that, nautilus received a new file previewer named sushi, feature that I like the most.
To use this new version you need to enable gnome-unstable repository, as top repository to pacman.conf:
[gnome-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Have fun testing these packages. Like always packaging bugs should be reported on our bugtracker, anything else considered bugs should be reported to GNOME bugzilla.
NVIDIA users be aware that xorg-server 1.11 from testing is incompatible with the current nvidia driver, even with IgnoreABI. You can switch to nouveau or add xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-synaptics xorg-server-common xorg-server to Ignorepkg.

ilike wrote:Good news, but if you don't want to see sushi in action, I don't think it's worth upgrading on a "running system" yet. The new GDM seems to be buggy (and the shutdown/restart option is missing there now)
know upstream bug
and the online account-feature (Google-Account integration with calendar, gnome-contacts, gnome-documents) didn't work for me.
know bug. for now you need to start at least once evolution to work
I also noticed that there's a problem with a Python3/PyGI-Script I wrote now:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pptool.py", line 15, in <module>
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, Pango, GObject
(pacman -S extra/py3gobject extra/gobject-introspection fixed that)
that is not a proper fix. now you might have a broken gnome 3.2 because is a gobject-introspection 1.29.17 it's a hard dependency.
maybe you should fix try to fix your code to work with python-gobject 2.90.3 (be aware that it cannot be installed right now along with python2-gobject 2.90.3 because of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658174 )

Gnome 2.31 in gnome-unstable

Hello,
I hope this is also the right forum for the gnome-unstable repository.
Are there any plans, when Gnome 2.31 comes to gnome-unstable. Since Thursday 10th Gnome 2.31.3 is released and before the release of Gnome 2.30 there was Gnome 2.29 in the gnome-unstable repo.
Thanks in advance

I found several issues now
1) gnome-applets needs as dependency python-gnomeapplet
2) sound juicer can't start 'cause
sound-juicer: error while loading shared libraries: libbrasero-media.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and brasero package has no file like this
3) empathy can't edit accounts
(empathy-accounts:32596): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "svg",
(empathy-accounts:32596): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "svg",
(empathy-accounts:32600): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "svg",

so I am not sure if working fine is good sentence

[gnome-unstable] ibus doesnt work

The new intergrated ibus in gnome-shell (which is one of my favorite features of 3.6) doesnt work. I can add the ibus keyboard (ibus-pinyin or Chinese (Pinyin)) in the system settings, but the settings opiton is grayed out (even though I know it has them), and when I switch to it and type all that comes out is qwerty (my default layout is dvorak)
this is relevant entries from my .cache/gdm/session.log

when runing ibus-setup (after installing python2-xdg which it requires, but doesnt pull in from pacman, I get)

ibus-anthy from the community repo doesn't work with ibus from gnome-unstable, either.
i copied some ibus PKGBUILD files from the aur and changed them to use the new ibus/anthy 1.4.99.20121006 from http://code.google.com/p/ibus:
ibus: http://pastebin.com/aSUSJmQj
ibus-anthy: http://pastebin.com/mP15BunH
seems to works fine now (using gnome 3.6 btw).

GNOME-Shell in Testing/gnome-unstable

I think there have to be some binary packages in testing/gnome-unstable. This mess on AUR is the hell with GNOME-Shell atm (07.10.09 15:30:17) it does not compile in any way.
i think when a git version is compiling and running the maintainer should package some binarys and put it into gnome-unstable or testing. Beceause it can happen that 5 minutes later nothings compiles anymore

I've also managed to build gnome-shell from git but am unable to runn the shell.
Here's the output:

Unstable repository problem?

when i try to download and install xarchiver-svn i get an error that the package is corrupted. when i looked at the ftp.archlinux.org i saw that there was a newer version of the package than that found by pacman. and the unstable.db.tar.gz has an older number (or revision or whatever...fix me please) of this package. should the database be rebuilt? or the database gets rebuilt on time intervals on unstable repository or what? confused archlinux newbie

Hey, so, i'm back.
I just checked it back. Seems to be the wrong version set in the repository file, so the file on the ftp servers is newer than the one actually brought by the repo.
I filed in a bugreport for this:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6078
Workaround:
Go into any directory as root user (ie /root)
execute the following code:
wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/unstable/os/i686/xarchiver-svn-24128-1.pkg.tar.gz
pacman -A ./xarchiver-svn-24128-1.pkg.tar.gz
Hope it helps,

Gnome unstable repo?

Yeah, I know it is huge. Recent changes over Gnome are BIG and very useful but AUR PKGBUILD's are very underdeveloped and it is impossible to build new Gnome Shell. Can someone make Gnome unstable repo? I'm pretty sure that lots of people are waiting for this.

Gnome-unstable: gnome 3.7.90

Hi there!!
Is there any news about an update of gnome-unstable repo?? gnome 3.7.90 is out.
I'd know if we'll see this beta or if we have to wait 3.7.98 version..

pushakk wrote:I can't reproduce the window freeze just now, maybe some package upgrade solve this issue. However the incomplete menu happens yet and I think the whole empathy app is bloated someway, it's slower than other gnome apps for draw the window, move it, etc ... maybe it's just my impression.
Empathy runs like a champ here...seems very light and quick, loads faster than ever.

GNOME 2.31 should been in gnome-unstable

Gnome 2.31 should hit gnome-unstable for long time. There are pretty much stable by the now, and also *many* bzr aur packages depends on 2.31 libraries. Please compile 2.31 for Arch. I could help with it, but its too much work for only one person. Im desperate for it, because i cannot continue my Ayatana backporting efforts without it.

wonder: exacly, but that isnt good. Gnome development is different of KDE development, where this type of maintaing repo is very good. In Gnome, 2.31.x versions arent some thing as 2.32 alphas, but are pretty much stable and usable versions which add new features to enviroment.
For example, Wine or Battle Of Wesnoth have exacly same development models as GNOME, and there are odd versions of them in stable repositories.
Also many peoples use 2.31.x in other distributions already, and there is *many* software which already depends on 2.31.x - Arch Linux users cannot use them now.
I also mentioned this topic in my blog: http://dinthsblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/ … oject.html

[Gnome-unstable] Unsupported i know

Since the talk in gnome3 networkmanager. I tried it out and it works allmost perfectly, there are two things that bothers me;
1. warning: undefined reference to <schema id='org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates'/> shows up as you install 3.6 packages
2. I got this wierd GFX bug, seem to be a gtk failure?, i got a link to my dropbox, with screenshot
Again i know its not yet supported but just want to know if anyone of you that uses the unstable repo got these bugs? And if you got a workaround?

Okay. A follow up on the two bugs i faced.
1. Is fixed since 3.6 - for me.
2. Seems to be a mutter bug when running Intel driver with SNA accel.

GDM doesn't start after updating to gnome 3.8 from gnome-unstable

When booting, the system gets "stuck" in starting authorization manager and gdm doesn't seem to start (the system is useable though, I'm posting from a vc). Looking at the journal I got this:
mar 29 17:19:08 deepthought gdm-launch-environment][2505]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_variant_compare: assertion `!g_variant_is_container (a)' failed
mar 29 17:19:08 deepthought gdm-launch-environment][2505]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_variant_compare: assertion `!g_variant_is_container (a)' failed
Any ideas on how to proceed?
Starting gnome-session from with .xinitrc throws me a "something went wrong" message, even when I deleted my .local/share/gnome-shell, .config/dconf and .gconf dirs. It says something about not reaching tracker so maybe I'm just not starting it correctly

getting the same here actually.
i uninstalled gdm and uses slim but that just gives a blank screen

Gnome-unstable stirs once more!

http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/archlinux … os/x86_64/
Not ready for primetime, but things are building
On a related note, why doesn't Arch have an AUR package group for building all of gnome? Something like the ricotz PPAs for Ubuntu

Seems like a great release. I only have some strange lines in gnome-control-center.
http://i.imgur.com/rgc52I5.png
There are also some lines in the navigation bar on the left of nautilus.
I built evince 3.13.91 myself and finally can close it when maximized thanks to the CSD.
The problem with the line could be a theme issue. Switch to the default theme to see if the problem persists.
Yes it was a theme issue. Could have thought of this myself..... ;-)
Looks like Greybird GTK 3.12 mostly works with Gnome 3.14, though.
Only gnometweaktool looks very strange with greybird.

[gnome-unstable] Display lock and screensaver inhibiting

Hi all,
while most of the pieces for the new Gnome are nicely falling in place and it is stabilising quickly, I find that screen saver and -locking is still a mess. It seems the timeouts I set in g-c-c are not respected. Also, totem and other programs cannot seem to inhibit the screensaver.
Any experiences/ideas?
Thanks!

same here. however
gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SessionManager --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager --method org.gnome.SessionManager.GetInhibitors
([objectpath '/org/gnome/SessionManager/Inhibitor1'],)
gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SessionManager --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager/Inhibitor1 --method org.gnome.SessionManager.Inhibitor.GetReason
('Reproduciendo una película',)
but the screen goes off anyway after ten minutes.

[gnome-unstable] Banshee crashing/not importing music.

I get weird behaviour in Banshee, sometimes it will crash with a segmentation fault error. I have this issue with both Banshee 2.4 and built Banshee 2.6.0 with the same issue.
Other times it will just refuse to import my music to my music directory and leave it where it is.
I assume is has something to do with the systemd dbus transistion, but any help would be appreciated.
Here is one of the outputs from banshee --debug after it crashes.

Does anyone have Gnome Shell up and running? If so, how did you do it?

Hi all!
I've tried installing Gnome Shell via gnome-shell and gnome-shell-git in AUR and the guide over here: http://zazaq.com/2010/04/27/gnome-scree … 0-on-arch/ to no avail. The latter method actually compiles after a few minor tweaks, but after running:
gnome-shell/install/bin/gnome-shell --replace
I am stuck with errors like this:
JS ERROR: !!! Exception was: Error: Requiring GLib, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GLib' (any version) not found
JS ERROR: !!! lineNumber = '0'

Window manager warning: Log level 32: Execution of main.js threw exception: Error: Requiring GLib, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GLib' (any version) not found
Followed by:
Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.
Looking around on the interwebs, the latter error suggests removing xulrunner, which I have done. This actually allows me to start gnome-shell, but the only thing that happens is that mutter kicks in and the window decoration changes slightly but I do not get the actual shell. Having removed xulrunner, I get this error:
(mutter:1063): mutter-WARNING **: Could not load library [/home/korpenkraxar/gnome-shell/install/lib64/mutter/plugins/libgnome-shell.so (libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)]
And now I am stuck. Any ideas or pointers anyone?

I got it running a while back. (Like, a couple of months ago. It's now gone, for multiple reasons). If memory serves me correctly, I just enabled the gnome-unstable repository and downloaded and it worked (it didn't compile properly from AUR for me). Well, I say "worked". It was very slow.
Maybe add
[gnome-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
to pacman.conf if you want to give it a go.
On the subject of gnome shell, has anyone got it to run smoothly? I have a 1Gb nvidia card, 4Gb ram and dual core 3Ghz cpu and it was totally unusable when I tried it.
